Hi TSMers, I need detect the bottleneck of backup performance of TSM W2K client (2xPII 450, 640MB RAM). It is working as fileserver (thousands files with general size about 45GB). many files are expiring, many are rebounded during backup so that means increased server load and lowering of backup performance (I marked it during monitoring of backup). Some other symptoms perhaps suggests problem with network card and switch and possible bad detecting of connection speed (10/100Mbit), but problem can be at TSM client side too. Can I "read out" something from performance statistics at and of backup (network transfer rate, aggregate rate, data transfer time .. etc.), or from development of server/client processor load during backup?
I mean some tips like: " If transfer rate is much higher than aggregate rate, problem is on server side ..." (that's only example). Simply, how characteristics like TSM server load, connection speed, setting of client communication parameters, rebinding files .. etc. can affect backup statistic values? Any suggestion will be appreciated (drowning man plucks at a straw :-)) ). Many thanks. Tom
